00:02:17 Jordan Driscoll
Hashtag sponsors. Hey, you might be second in terms of newbie, but you're first in my heart.

00:02:21 KC Yost
Awe.

00:02:21 Jordan Driscoll
And I, of course, I am Jordan Driscoll, host of Context is For King, with its groundbreaking, 17 listeners, and 1 billion band listeners, or-

00:02:34 Audrey
So basically, China.

00:02:34 Jordan Driscoll
I don't know what China's population. China, yeah.

00:02:36 Audrey
China.

00:02:37 Jordan Driscoll
inaudible China. But all in all, we are good. We are here today to do the Christmas episode, so we're glad you joined us. I'm going to hand it off to my boy Russell, who is going to give us a quiz to test our festive knowledge. Russell, take it away.

00:02:49 Russel Stewart
Okay. So these questions have been hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar on Orville Redenbacher's front porch, or whatever that was. So don't blame me for the questions, here. I'm like, Will Rogers, all I know is what I read in the newspapers. We're going to start off with a real easy one here first. What is the full name of Santa Claus? Is it St. Nick, St. Colossus, St. Charles or St. Nicholas?

00:03:14 All speakers
St. Nicholas.

00:03:15 Russel Stewart
All right. I told you. I told you that was an easy one.

00:03:19 Jordan Driscoll
I think St. Colossus is the best name, though.

00:03:23 Russel Stewart
Okay. Who is not one of Santa's reindeer in the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

00:03:30 KC Yost
Snoopy.

00:03:30 Russel Stewart
Is it Cupid, Prancer, Donner or Chopper?

00:03:33 All speakers
Chopper. Chopper. Chappa.

00:03:36 Russel Stewart
Okay. All right. They get harder. Okay?

00:03:38 KC Yost
I hope so.

00:03:39 Russel Stewart
How many ghosts appeared in a Christmas Carol?

00:03:42 Audrey
Three.

00:03:43 Russel Stewart
Is it 4, 5, 3, or 12?

00:03:45 Audrey
Three.

00:03:46 Mark
Three.

00:03:46 KC Yost
14.

00:03:49 Russel Stewart
The number is four.

00:03:51 Audrey
Oh, four.

00:03:52 Russel Stewart
Marley.

00:03:53 Paige
Yep.

00:03:54 Jordan Driscoll
Oh, yeah. Old Fezziwig.

00:03:55 Mark
Yeah.

00:03:56 Russel Stewart
All right. I told you they get harder in the song. In the song 12 Days of Christmas what new gift did their True Love send on the ninth day? Pipers piping, maids a milking, lords a leaping or ladies dancing?

00:04:10 Elena Melchert
Ladies dancing.

00:04:10 All speakers
Ladies dancing.

00:04:12 Russel Stewart
You guys are good. Wow. That is absolutely correct.

00:04:17 Jordan Driscoll
I was going to go for maids to milking, but...

00:04:20 Russel Stewart
This is one's too easy. We'll-

00:04:22 Joe Batir
Can I add a quick story there?

00:04:25 Russel Stewart
Go ahead.

00:04:25 Joe Batir
So every year at the Dallas Arboretum, if you're in the Dallas area, they have a setup both Santa's village, but then they also have stages for each of the 12 days of Christmas that are like you go Jordan, little animatronic things that show whatever that day is.

00:04:45 Elena Melchert
That is too cool.

00:04:48 Joe Batir
I wouldn't know all 12 days, but I have seen all 12 days, some of them more appropriate than others.

00:04:56 Elena Melchert
And my 12 days of Christmas story is not as good as Joe's. But at the Kennedy Center, they always have the children's program on a Saturday matinee, and you have to act out the 12 days of Christmas and a partridge in a pear tree.

00:05:13 Mark
Well, since we're telling stories, in the eighties, when I was in Germany for Christmas in the Marine Corps, I came into the barracks and there was this little pine tree in a bucket. It did not have a single needle on the pine tree, and there was a 308 empty round tied with a red ribbon to the middle of the tree. I go, "What is this?" They go, "It's a cartridge in a bear tree."

00:05:38 Elena Melchert
That's good.

00:05:39 Russel Stewart
I wasn't going to get into those silly trivia things, but Well, maybe, Hey, this next one's too easy, but I'm going to see if Jordan has something lewd to say about it. When you're under a mistletoe, it means what?

00:05:53 Jordan Driscoll
You're getting lucky tonight. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'll change my answer. This might get edited out in post. We'll see if you're under a mistletoe, she pretty much has to.

00:06:06 Russel Stewart
Yeah, that one will have to be edited out. Okay. All right. This monster is said to be the evil counterpart of Santa Claus, punishing misbehaving children on Christmas. Is it the Gremlin?

00:06:17 Jordan Driscoll
Jordan Driscoll.

00:06:18 Russel Stewart
The Leprechaun, the Wendigo or the Krampus?

00:06:18 All speakers
Krampus. Krampus.

00:06:18 Paige
Always Krampus.

00:06:21 Russel Stewart
Krampus. That's correct. Okay. All right. Who's saying I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus?

00:06:30 Paige
Tammy Wynette. I don't know.

00:06:32 Russel Stewart
Okay, here's your choice. Was Mariah Carey, Vince Guaraldi Trio, The Ronettes or the Jackson Five?

00:06:39 Audrey
Jackson five.

00:06:40 Russel Stewart
You're absolutely right, Audra. That's exactly right.

00:06:42 Mark
Really? I would have got that one wrong.

00:06:43 Paige
OH she got something right.

00:06:44 Jordan Driscoll
I would've said Shirley Temple, but I don't know.

00:06:46 Paige
I'm a Jew and I know none of these who wrote I for something again.

00:06:53 Russel Stewart
Who wrote How The Grinch Stole Christmas? Everybody knows that.

00:06:56 Paige
Dr. Seuss.

00:06:57 Russel Stewart
Dr. Seuss. Okay. All right. Yeah, that one was too easy.

00:07:02 Paige
It's my favorite.

00:07:06 Russel Stewart
Okay. Where was Jesus born? In Babylon, Galilee, Eden or Bethlehem?

00:07:13 All speakers
Bethlehem.

00:07:14 Paige
Two for two.

00:07:16 Russel Stewart
Okay. What was used for Frosty the Snowman's nose?

00:07:19 Paige
Button.

00:07:21 All speakers
A carrot.

00:07:24 Russel Stewart
Your choice.

00:07:24 Joe Batir
The song says button nose.

00:07:25 Russel Stewart
Your choices are carrot, coal, radish or button.

00:07:29 Paige
Button.

00:07:30 Russel Stewart
You're going with button, huh?

00:07:31 Paige
I'm going with button.

00:07:32 Joe Batir
Button, nose and two eyes made out of coal.

00:07:34 Paige
Coal. Exactly.

00:07:34 Elena Melchert
Oh, you're right. I did say that.

00:07:37 Russel Stewart
All right, button.

00:07:37 Jordan Driscoll
Come on Russell.

00:07:38 Russel Stewart
Button is correct.

00:07:39 Elena Melchert
Show as a carrot.

00:07:41 Joe Batir
Okay, get

00:07:42 Elena Melchert
What about the snowman? What about the red one? Or what's that movie? Red?

00:07:46 Paige
I don't know that's sounds like-

00:07:47 Elena Melchert
That's a new movie for Christmas. And it is this army of snowmen because they've taken the North Pole. They all have carrots for their nose. So that's why I thought.

00:07:56 Andrew
But Frosty-

00:07:57 Joe Batir
I mean a frozen carrot is more dangerous than a button.

00:08:00 Russel Stewart
Okay.

00:08:00 Joe Batir
So if I was going to be an army of snowmen, I would've a carrot nose.

00:08:04 Russel Stewart
Speaking of movies, which actor played six characters in the movie Polar Express? Jim Carrey, John Hutcherson, Steven Tyler or Tom Hanks?

00:08:13 All speakers
Tom Hanks.

00:08:14 Russel Stewart
Tom Hanks. That's correct. The first artificial Christmas tree was made with feathers. From which bird? A chicken and ostrich, a swan or a goose?

00:08:24 Jordan Driscoll
Dodo.

00:08:24 Mark
Ostrich

00:08:26 Elena Melchert
inaudible.

00:08:27 Russel Stewart
The answer is Goose.

00:08:30 Joe Batir
That is a boring tree.

00:08:33 Mark
Not to the goose.

00:08:34 Paige
That's a dangerous tree.

00:08:36 Russel Stewart
Which holiday is Christmas on December 26, A day after Christmas in the UK?

00:08:42 Jordan Driscoll
Boxing Day.

00:08:42 Russel Stewart
Boxing Day. That's exactly right. We had to get that in for our international audience though. Okay. Which is a song by Elvis Presley. White Christmas, Green Christmas, Red Christmas or Blue Christmas?

00:08:53 Joe Batir
Blue.

00:08:55 Russel Stewart
That's right.

00:08:56 Joe Batir
Can you sing a little bit of it for us?

00:08:58 Russel Stewart
Santa's favorite singer is Elfish Presley.

00:09:05 Elena Melchert
Sing it.

00:09:06 Jordan Driscoll
Sing it.

00:09:08 Russel Stewart
Let's see. I'll have a blue blue Christmas without you.

00:09:14 Jordan Driscoll
Without you.

00:09:16 Russel Stewart
And when those blue heartaches start hurting.

00:09:23 Jordan Driscoll
Okay somebody get Elena to-

00:09:24 Russel Stewart
You'll be doing all right with your Christmas So bright. And I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.

00:09:36 Mark
This is a great place to wind this thing down. Want to wish all of our listeners Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's. Happy Holiday. Just appreciate-

00:09:45 Paige
Happy Hanukkah.

00:09:45 Mark
Happy Hanukkah. Just appreciate each and every one of y'all for listening because without y'all, it would be this gang talking amongst themselves, which would be kind of weird. inaudible.

00:09:56 Paige
Think this is funny. You should see how our meetings go.

00:09:58 Jordan Driscoll
You should, except there is one listener that I do not wish a happy Christmas to, and that's Greg. And you know what you did. And you know, don't deserve a good Christmas. But everyone else, Merry Christmas. Merry to everybody else except that one Greg.

00:10:14 Audrey
Greg.

00:10:15 Mark
Merry Christmas everybody.

00:10:16 All speakers
Merry Christmas.
